Over thirty independent venues, in every state and territory.

What we run

Four things, every week.

We take four jobs off your desk every week and handle the compliance on top.

01

Payroll

Award-correct wages every week, STP lodged with each run, super paid on time.

Every week

02

Supplier payments

Invoices captured and coded as they arrive, then one payment run you approve in a click.

Every week

03

Reconciliation

Every account matched and every query cleared, so the books match the bank.

Every week

04

Reporting

Sales, labour, COGS, overheads and net profit on one page, with notes on what moved.

Every week

Monthly

IAS

PAYG withholding lodged every month, from books that are already clean.

Quarterly

BAS

Lodged in-house by a registered tax agent, with a weekly reserve so the bill is never a surprise.

Annual, additional

Tax returns

Company and personal returns in the Foundation package. Same team, same books.

Built into the weekly process

  • Your closing cash and next supplier run, every week
  • Supplier price rises flagged the week they happen
  • One report format across every venue you run
  • A free historic clean-up before we start

Your monthly call

When did someone last walk you through your numbers?

Most owners get their accounts months late and nobody explains them. We've had clients close to tears on the first call, because someone finally told them where they stood on tax and profit, and how to fix it.

01

A second brain for your venue.

Someone who knows your business reads the numbers with you and spots the risks while you can still act. Your client manager is Amit, who has spent 15 years in hospitality.

02

Benchmarks from venues like yours.

We look after over thirty venues across Australia. When we say where your labour, supplier prices or net profit should sit, it comes from what we see every week.

03

In every package.

Clients tell us the call is what got them to set a labour budget, raise prices and push back on suppliers.

The hard questions

The questions that keep operators up at night.

Can I afford to open another site?

The answer is in your numbers. We work out what your first venue really returns once wages, stock and the ATO are paid.

You'll know what a second site would need to carry.

Where is my profit leaking?

Usually labour and cost of goods. A roster a few points heavy, or a supplier who quietly repriced, costs you a month before a quarterly report shows it.

We track both weekly and flag it while you can still act.

Am I actually on top of the ATO?

Most venues find out they're behind when a deadline lands. We reconcile weekly, code GST as invoices arrive and lodge STP every pay run, so BAS is a quick review.

IAS monthly, BAS quarterly, lodged in-house by a registered tax agent.

Can I trust these numbers?

If you can't trust the file, you can't decide anything with it. So every engagement starts with a clean-up of your historic books.

The clean-up is free. You start on solid ground.

Hospo runs on tight margins. So does Roger.

Most venues see their numbers three weeks after month-end. By then it's too late to fix the roster or food cost that caused them.

Most bookkeeping is manual data entry, so fees run high. Ours runs on software we wrote for venues, so our people spend their time checking your numbers instead of typing them in. We only do hospitality, and we don't bill by the hour.

Our team includes chartered accountants, Xero specialists and a registered tax agent, and we carry professional indemnity insurance.

Dr Amit Tewari, founder

"I've left hospitality, but hospitality never left me."

Roger was founded by Dr Amit Tewari, who started Soul Burger and spent 15 years in hospitality. He saw that hospo needed its own bookkeepers: people who know how a venue's week works, how to deal with suppliers and how to manage cash, at a price small operators can afford.

Roger is the finance department he wished he'd had, and he's still the one on your monthly call.

Questions, answered

How much does Roger cost?

From $499 a month, about $115 a week, with a free historic clean-up. Month to month, no lock-in, backed by a price-beat guarantee. Tax returns come in the Foundation package. Extra custom reporting or tasks are $100 a month, quoted up front.

What happens on the monthly call?

Half an hour with Amit, your client manager, on how the venue is really doing: your tax position, labour against similar venues, supplier prices against what we see elsewhere, your menu prices, and what a good net profit looks like for you. It's in every package.

What's included each week?

Every week: payroll and super, the supplier payment run, bank reconciliation and invoice uploading, and your weekly financial report. Monthly IAS and quarterly BAS are included from Essentials up, with annual tax returns in the Foundation package.

Do you only work with hospitality?

Yes. Cafes, restaurants, quick-service venues, pubs and bars, hospo B2B, hostels and accommodation, that's it. One industry means our systems, our award knowledge and our pricing are all tuned for venues.

What does switching involve?

You nominate us as your agent with the ATO and give us access to your Xero. We then contact your suppliers, point their invoices to a capture email, review your books and start the weekly rhythm. Most venues switch without missing a pay run.

Are you a registered tax agent?

Yes. Get Roger Pty Ltd is a registered tax agent, so your BAS, IAS and tax returns are prepared and lodged in-house. We also carry professional indemnity insurance.

Where do you operate?

Across Australia. We look after venues in every state and territory, the Northern Territory most recently. We're Sydney-based and the service is delivered remotely, so your postcode isn't a barrier.
